Positive Material Identification (PMI)
Positive Material Identification (PMI) may be applied to metals during the supply, fabrication & erection of those materials. The PMI is utilized for quality control and safety compliance and is [...]
Corrosion Monitoring & Assessment of Gas Pipelines using 3D Scanners
Inspection of Gas Pipelines Without proper maintenance, the lifespan of gas pipelines can be greatly reduced, which can subsequently lead to people and the environment being exposed to potential hazards [...]
Visual Boroscope Inspection
A boroscope is an optical instrument used in industrial applications to view the interior of technical hollow bodies or interior surfaces in tubes, pipes, holes, gas turbine engines or other [...]
Visual Inspection
Visual Inspection (VI), or visual testing (VT), is the oldest and most basic method of inspection. Visual examination is generally used to determine such things as the surface condition of [...]

Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD)
Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) is a reliable method of advanced ultrasonic testing (UT) used in weld inspection. TOFD uses the "time of flight" of an ultrasonic pulse to find [...]
Phased Array Inspection
Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) is an advanced non-destructive examination technique that utilises a set of ultrasonic testing (UT) probes made up of numerous small elements, each of which is [...]
Eddy Current Testing
Eddy Current Testing (also commonly seen as eddy current testing and ECT) is one of many electromagnetic testing methods used in nondestructive testing (NDT) making use of electromagnetic induction to [...]
Ultrasonic Inspection
Ultrasonic Testing (UT) is within the family of non-destructive testing techniques based on the propagation of ultrasonic waves in the object or material tested. In most common UT applications, very short [...]
Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement
In the field of industrial ultrasonic testing, ultrasonic thickness measurement (UTM) is a method of performing non-destructive measurement (gauging) of the local thickness of a solid element (typically made of [...]

Magnetic Particle Inspection
Magnetic particle Inspection (MPI) is a non-destructive testing (NDT) process for detecting surface and near-surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials such as iron, nickel, cobalt, and some of their alloys and [...]
Dye Penetrant Inspection
Dye penetrant inspection (DPI), also called liquid penetrant inspection (LPI) or penetrant testing (PT), is a widely applied and low-cost inspection method used to check surface-breaking defects in all non-porous [...]
Hardness Testing
Hardness is a measure of the resistance to localized plastic deformation induced by either mechanical indentation or abrasion. In general, different materials differ in their hardness; for example hard metals [...]
